Wood

Living in the country has its perks. Oh the joy of cutting down trees, splitting the logs and laying them out to dry for 3 or more years.

Moving to the countryside was the best decision in my life. The patch of land we found was totally grown in with trees. 5 winters of cutting and splitting later, we have a reserve for about 10 years of fluffy, cozy warmness.

And then there's still the neighbor's woodland to go ;-)

Don't get me wrong, I am as much an environmentalist as can be. Wood is a natural resource that grows back. Almost half of Austria is bedecked with forest. And it is growing every year.
